Buying A Used ATV


Buying a used atv can be a fun thing. However, beware of the owner who is trying to unload a lemon or an atv that is needing major repairs.

Check out the tires. Raise the ATV up if possible to check the underside. If you're buying a used 4x4 atv, check out the cv joint boots. If the sprockets are worn on one side or bent, it's likely time for a new chain and sprocket.

Then try to move each front wheel in and out from top to bottom and side to side to check for worn wheel bearings and ball joints. Don't forget to remove the seat and check the air box for dirt and water. This is often overlooked and can be a sign of abuse or lack of maintenance on a used atv.

If there is rust, it could indicate costly engine repairs. And yes, gas tanks rust. Take the atv for a spin. Does the atv start right up or is it sluggish? Does it handle well? Does the exhaust have the spark arrestor in place? Many owners remove these. However, National Forest and other public trails require spark arrestor's to be in place. Is the body damaged or cracked? Rough bodies normally indicate rough use.
